"I didn't expect you to come so soon!" Yin Tiancheng looked at the man in black who suddenly appeared, and said regretfully. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

I saw the man in black staring at them, as if there was a flame burning in his eyes, like a hungry beast excited to see its prey.

"Really?" The man in black smiled: "I didn't expect that my modus operandi was so secretive, and you also had insight into it." ”

"I still guessed the wrong time and place." Yin Tiancheng shook his head and sighed, others rely on martial arts to break through the rivers and lakes, but he walks the rivers and lakes with his brain, and now there is a small mistake in judgment, he can't forgive himself.

The man in black said, "I didn't want to kill anyone who had nothing to do with it, but you yourself got involved, so it's no wonder that I have to send you two to hell together for free." ”

"You're the one who wants to kill me?" Liaodong soldiers asked him.

"Yes, I have been waiting for you for a long time." The man in black said leisurely and took off the bamboo hat on his head.

"Bastard, I don't weigh how many pounds and taels I have!" The Liaodong soldiers roared angrily, the sword was unsheathed, and they raised their hands to stab at the man in black with a move of "immortal guidance". He secretly thought in his heart that his martial arts are not low, and with Yin Tiancheng's help, this gangster is only afraid that he will be sent to death by himself, and he can just help Yin Tiancheng solve the case and earn some silver flowers casually.

It's a pity that he made a lot of calculations and missed one thing: that is, among the murders committed by the man in black before, there are many victims with strong martial arts, and Yin Tiancheng, wisdom and martial arts happen to be inversely proportional, with his kung fu, sometimes he can't deal with a few thieves.

Yin Tiancheng saw that the sword in the hand of Liaodong's personal soldiers was less than an inch away from the throat of the man in black, and the man in black disappeared ghostly.

"How is this possible, how is this possible? What the hell am I? Yin Tiancheng's face was full of shock, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Stupid, I'm here." The grim words of the man in black came from behind Yin Tiancheng. He hurriedly turned around and found that the man in black was already riding on the horse of Liaodong's own soldiers, looking at them with a sneer.

How can there be such a fast light work in the world! Yin Tiancheng felt a chill in his heart, and he felt that his cold sweat was flowing down.

The current situation is not good, and if you are not careful, I am afraid that both of them will be killed by the man in black. Thinking of this, Yin Tiancheng didn't dare to relax in his heart, he hurriedly drew his sword to help, and flew towards the man in black with a sword. It's a pity that his clumsy sword style hasn't touched the body of the man in black, so he kicked him to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Liaodong's soldiers believed that Yin Tiancheng was really mediocre in martial arts, but time did not allow him to think much about it, and his years of combat career had made the sword in his hand habitually stab at the man in black again.

The man in black made a move, his left hand just swaying slightly, and a stream of red powder was already sprinkled on the faces of the two men. Yin Tiancheng secretly screamed: "Oops! "Before I could dodge in time, I felt that it was dark in front of me, and I didn't know anything.

I don't know how long it took, Yin Tiancheng woke up from a coma, and the back of a woman in white came into his eyes.

"Are you awake?" The woman in white put down the book in her hand when she heard the sound and whispered to him: "There is a bowl of soup in front of the bed, which can detoxify the flower poison in your body." Drink it while it's hot. ”

There was indeed a bowl of soup at the head of the bed, steaming, and a comforting medicinal fragrance quietly crept into Yin Tiancheng's nose. Yin Tiancheng knew that this was a rare tonic, so he drank it with a bowl. When the soup fell into his stomach, he felt that the pain in his whole body was gone, and he was refreshed.

Looking at the back of the woman in white, Yin Tiancheng asked hesitantly, "Girl, did you save me?" ”

"Ice and snow, pedestrians are extinct, who else will save you but me?" As she spoke, Yin Tiancheng saw that the candle flame on the table flickered without wind, and returned to normal after a while. It was a jade-colored candle, the flame was burning with colorful light, Yin Tiancheng had never seen such a candle. Strange, it's still daylight outside the window, and the light in the house is not dim, why did she light candles?

"The Liaodong soldiers who sent the letter?" Yin Tiancheng asked again.

"Dead, the murderer is gone."

"Why didn't you save him?"

"I don't know him, why should I save him?" Listening to the faint tone of the woman in white, it seemed that she was saying something that had nothing to do with her.

Yin Tiancheng hurriedly said: "That's a human life!" ”

"If you're worried about his life, aren't you worried about mine?" The woman in white asked him rhetorically.

Oh, yes! Yin Tiancheng secretly thought: She is a weak woman, it is not easy to save me, and the murderer's martial arts are extremely powerful, and it is fortunate that she can get out of danger safely. I'd better hurry back to the government and ask my father-in-law to send troops to arrest the murderer.

Yin Tiancheng stood up and was about to solemnly thank her, but after seeing her hand raised, he said, "Men and women don't kiss, you should sit on the edge of the bed and talk to me." ”

Yin Tiancheng thought to himself that this was a courtesy, and I couldn't ruin her reputation because of this. So he sat back down at the bed and asked, "Did we know each other before?" ”

"yes, we've known each other for a long time, and it's been so long that you've forgotten it." After saying that, she sighed faintly, picked up the ancient book and looked at it again.

"Girl, can you turn around and let me see your face, so that you can know who you are?" As he spoke, Yin Tiancheng began to carefully examine everything in the house.

He suddenly found that the house was all white, the walls were white, the window lattices were also white, all the furniture, the antiques placed in the closet were also pure white, and even the quilt that had just covered his body was as white as jade. Although the boudoir is not large, it reveals a simple and elegant atmosphere everywhere.

Yin Tiancheng wanted to ask a question, but saw the woman in white stand up and leave the room.

After waiting for a long time, the woman did not come back, Yin Tiancheng was bored, so he got up and walked to the table and sat on the chair where the woman in white had just sit. It was then that he realized that the chair was not made of wood, but a jade-shaped material that he had never recognized. The candle flame flashed again and was extinguished in an instant, leaving only half of the candle body to accompany the lonely Yin Tiancheng.

A gust of wind swept by, and the ancient book on the table was blown by the wind, Yin Tiancheng picked up the book curiously, and saw that the mottled cover was printed with three ancient characters similar to seal scripts: "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

"Since Childe likes this book, I'll give it to you as a souvenir." Yin Tiancheng heard the voice of the woman in white drifting in from a long distance outside the house. How does she know I'm reading? Yin Tiancheng was shocked, and walked out of the door quickly, all that greeted him was a snowy color, and there were no footprints on the empty ground.

"I'll give you the candle too." This time, the female voice sounded behind him, and Yin Tiancheng looked back, but there was no trace of anyone.

What the hell is going on, is she playing tricks? Just when Yin Tiancheng was suspicious in his heart, the woman's voice came from a distance again: "It's not early, Gongzi should go back." I can't see anyone, so I won't send you. ”

Hearing that the master gave an eviction order, Yin Tiancheng didn't want to stay for a long time, he put the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and half a candle in his arms, saluted in the air and said: "Then I will leave in the next place, and come to your mansion another day to thank the girl for saving her life." ”

There was no response for a long time, and the garden was silent, so silent that it didn't seem like it was in the world. Yin Tiancheng saw that the master did not answer, so he had to step out of the threshold, walk through the corridor, stretch out his hand to push open the door, and walked out. As soon as he walked out the door, a passing pedestrian crashed into him.

The man opened his mouth and scolded: "You don't have long eyes when you walk?" ”

It's clear that you hit me, but you put the blame on me, you are really unreasonable! Yin Tiancheng was about to open his mouth to refute, but the man also saw Yin Tiancheng's face clearly, and said with a smirk: "It turned out to be Yin Zhutou, who didn't stay at home on a cold day, and came out to handle the case?" ”

Yin Tiancheng fixed his eyes and saw that it was an acquaintance, Zhao Yong, who was on the watch in the east of the city, and said with a smile: "Why did I say that I bumped into you......" Before the words were finished, Zhao Yong nodded and said: "That's a small joke with you, you must not care, but you can't be a small move." ”

"It's cold, why are you still wandering outside?"

"It's still early for the little one, so I want to buy a pot of old wine and go back to drink a few glasses, sleep lazily, and have the energy to get up and play more at night."

"That's right, I just came out of this house, and I'm going to go back to rest." Yin Tiancheng is still worried about the case of Liaodong's pro-soldiers.

"Ah, Yin Zhutou isn't joking, are you from this house?" Zhao Yong's face was frightened.

"What, can't you go here?" Yin Tiancheng looked back as he spoke, and this look made him feel startled. What kind of householder is this, it's obviously a deserted garden! The dilapidated gate is dilapidated, the eaves are covered with yellow weeds, and the plaque hanging on the door screen bears two large characters: Plum Garden.

"Yin Zhutou, have you seen a ghost?" Zhao Yong left before he finished speaking, for fear that something unclean on Yin Tiancheng's body would contaminate him, leaving only the frightened Yin Tiancheng at the gate of the deserted garden.

Yin Tiancheng knew that the plum garden had been brilliant before, and its first owner was the marquis of the previous dynasty, and later he was cut down by the emperor for corruption and sent to Lingnan, and the plum garden also declined. Although there were also a few families living in the plum garden, but these residents in the plum garden have all died in the garden, and they also died of violent illness, over time, people think that the garden has a bad luck, and after the last rich family surnamed Wan moved back to the original place because of the death of his wife and daughter in the garden, no one dared to buy the garden to live in. Later, only some homeless people dared to stay in the plum garden, and they were safe, but five years ago, three beggars lived in the plum garden, but the next day they died in it for no apparent reason, and the cause of death is still a mystery. Since this strange incident happened, the plum garden has completely become a ghost garden in people's hearts, and no one dares to enter it anymore.

Am I alive and hell? Yin Tiancheng asked secretly, although he had heard the strange legend about the plum garden a long time ago, but he still didn't believe it in his heart. Because in the past few years of handling the case, he has seen a lot of people who pretend to commit crimes under the guise of ghosts and gods, but what happened in the park just now cannot be explained by common sense. He subconsciously took out the book and candle that the woman in white had given him just now from his arms, which made his face look shocked. The "Classic of Mountains and Seas" turned into a pile of dark paper, and with a slight pinch of the fingers, the paper powder was scattered with the wind, but the candle was still the same without any abnormality.

This sudden encounter completely overcame his curiosity over the fear in his head, and he settled down, put the candle back in his bosom, raised his hand to push open the broken door, and returned to the plum garden again.

The park is deserted, the snow has long since stopped, Yin Tiancheng's ears are full of weeping and complaining, and the scene that was still a warm home just now has all disappeared. Yin Tiancheng walked into the boudoir where he was resting just now with a nervous mood, how could there be any woman in white, her eyes were full of broken bricks and broken walls, and the paint on the old furniture had peeled off, revealing the wood inside, and thick dust was accumulating everywhere. The bed he slept on was only rotten slats, with a few water stains visible to the naked eye. The dust on the floor left a few footprints, which were the footprints that Yin Tiancheng had just walked on when he was chatting with the woman in white. Although Yin Tiancheng was surprised, out of professional instinct, he still searched the room carefully, but he couldn't find any traces left by the woman in white. She was like a ghost, and she disappeared out of thin air.

This is really a strange thing, could it be that the woman in white and the murderer are in a gang, and they have teamed up to set up a ghost game with me? Yin Tiancheng was puzzled and couldn't find any reasonable explanation.

Forget it, I'd better go back to the yamen first and report the case to my father-in-law. With his mind already decided, Yin Tiancheng turned around and walked towards the door, leaving his mind full of questions in the room, lingering like a cloud.
